Its very very sad. I was also been separated from my husband and daughter for well over 3 years now by doing the right thing. I have equities in the US by having 2 USC relatives. I went home trying to do the right thing but it turns out nothing but catch-22. We filed a 601 Waiver at the US Embassy and it turn out that it was denied and filed for an appeal it was also denied. I'm a middle age woman and ban to re-unite with my family until 10 years. My case was overstaying my Visa. I came to the US legally and was fooled by the guy who brought me and did not know what to I stayed in the US and finally met the man I love and got married. We have been married for 12 years now. Eight years were together and now sepated by the inhumane and draconian laws of the United Stated. No human has the right to tear down or break apart families only in America. Its sad very very sad. At times thinking about my family everyday, I feel like I am losing my mind. I had lived in the US for 19 years and no criminal records, with steady employment and yet the punishment is so severe. God will punished those who do vile things to others and they will get is I am sure of that. I hope the adjudicator that denied my case will never gone to bed with a good sleeping night for what he/she did to another human beings or famlies like ours. Cursed will be with them.

If I were an honest hard-working meiacxn wanting to come to America for a better life, I would be embarrassed to be associated with the criminal element that are calling themselves "undocumented" to avoid the real truth here, "ILLEGAL" is just that. But as a natural born American, I instead am the one being embarassed that my own President doesn't have the balls to protect me and my family from the flood of illegal "persons" entering this country. Obama is telling us that we should "embrace" their culture. Why the hell should I? They themselves are breaking the law to escape their culture, why should I embrace that? I thought the want to come here to become "Americans"? Isn't that the point? Or do they really just want our money and want to shove their culture in our faces and screw our system? Wake up Mr. President and stop the cancer eating away at this society. YOU need to enforce the laws of this country that were written long before you were born. This is not racism, this is what we should do to respect and honor our country.
